<div class="assert">The effect of BASEFONT SIZE in Internet Explorer 1.0-2.0, 
Netscape 1.0 and Opera is to serve as a starting point in calculating relative 
FONT SIZE change values. Later versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape 1.1-4.x 
allow the setting of a default font size for contained text.</div>
